Hello, all!
My name is Matt, and I'd like to introduce myself to you all. I've spent much of my time enjoying board games instead of doing what I should be doing. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, which at first glance has nothing at all to do with board games. But I feel like when I'm designing my board game, I'm engineering it.
Unfortunately, my company had a round of downsizing earlier this year, and I found myself without work. Since then, I've been designing a board game, and I've been having different groups playtesting it. Now I'm working on the artwork and clarifying and tweaking the rules.
My reason for coming to this forum is for guidance from those who have more experience than me in this field. I'd really like to see this game MADE. What are the difficulties and benefits of trying to send my game to a publisher? Or should I do a self-published kickstarter-style thing?
Would there be any interest in people online here doing some playtesting or review of my game? I'm certainly willing to return the favor, at least for reviewing the game rules or copy-editing.
Thanks for reading! I'm glad there's a forum like this one.
